Finger Lickin’ Good Parenting
(A man walks up to our hot case with his wife and two little girls.)
Me: “Hi! How may I help you?”
Customer: “Hi, we wanted to get some chicken strips.”
(As I am taking his order, I notice his daughters are licking the hot case glass.)
Me: “Excuse me, sir, but your daughters are licking the glass.”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Me: “Well… aside from the fact that the glass is hot, we cleaned it this morning with a chemical cleaner to wash off a layer of grease build-up.”
Customer: “So?”
Me: “The chemical we used is a known carcinogen. I might suggest that you stop your daughters from ingesting it.”
Customer: “Look, lady. You’ve obviously never been a parent. When you have kids, you’ll learn that it’s MUCH easier to just let your kids do whatever they want.”
